Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I don't even really hate video games and I'll play them for like I dunno an hour a month or something but I just don't think the world would be a worse place with out them.

I think I hate gamers though, I wish I could filter them out of my life experience

videogames were invented in the 70s as like another version of pinball, they just never had a chance. at least music and books existed before capitalism, everything after that gets kinda iffy (movies somehow managed to be what they are despite capitalism, television, having been invented like 50 years later kinda just sucks).

if they invent another artform today it will suck even harder, its just capitalism continuing and continuing to destroy all the humanity and beauty in things
